U-M has won 28 of its last 35 games dating back to last year
Since Izzo and MSU's meltdown at Crisler last year we finished that particular season on a 12-3 run and it seems we've pick right up on that momentum from last year. Was that Beilein's second most pivotal win of his tenure here? After obviously the 2011 win at Breslin

Why do keep coming back man? No one cares what you have to say today or tomorrow when you create another account.

Who do you think this poster is, and how are you certain? What is the problem here exactly?

I am NOT Maizen.
I am NOT Yost.
I am NOT WD.

But you are a Dick!
January 16th, 2018 at 5:17 PM ^
NM...
Was going to respond in kind but to posters like yourself, there's no point.
January 16th, 2018 at 5:42 PM ^
Why do you feel the need to to do this though?
January 16th, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
This poster has been plaguing the board under different names for a month now. At times, it has operated multiple accounts that it uses to dialog with itself. It's pretty easy to spot. This is not an African-American. This...whatever...is engaging in a minstrel act for reasons known only to itself. I know that because I am an African-American. I know the difference between authenticity and racist characature, and the others can see through this as well.

Sounds good. Let's chill. What's your address? Where do you live in Altanta?
January 16th, 2018 at 1:25 PM ^
January 16th, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
Where'd you go to high school in Altanta? Where do you work? What's your connection to Michigan sports?

I know it'll take some time to put together a halfway credible lie.
January 16th, 2018 at 1:35 PM ^
Still waiting on that credible lie...
January 16th, 2018 at 1:38 PM ^
January 16th, 2018 at 1:43 PM ^
Uh huh.

...delaying action... shift the focus by questioning your interlocutor...
I graduated from Michigan! You've said in the past that you go to CMU, right? In Michigan, not Georgia.

Well, you know what I do for a living since we discussed it just the other day. This is when you were operating both Junkyard Dog and one of the variations of this BB account. Or does your memory change when you get banned and start new accounts?

You're not nearly as smart as you think you are, WD.

What on God's green Earth makes you think banning by IP address is effective or even a solution?

I may not be smart but I'm a donor!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha:

I also am a donor to the U-M Athletic Department. Let me know how much you donate to yours. Apparently not enough since the facilities are ass pic.twitter.com/GUkQnXqRK6

But I think the poster actually thinks they are helping this place by doing this. I believe this is a long-time, well-known poster who is upset at what they perceive (rightly or wrongly) as unfair treatment here by others and want Brian & Seth to institute some sort of checking system prior to issuing user names. So they are creaing and recreating new users who get caved pretty fast to try and "force" this change.
Mind you I have zero proof of any of this so i'm not "naming names" but based on comments made both here and on Twitter I have a pretty good idea of who I think this is. And yes, totally agree they are most definitely NOT an African-American. That is obvious as hell.

Cause about a year ago I made reference here inside an obscure and lightly visited thread about one of our MGoAuthors that someday I wanted to write a book. I even connected here with the actual author so I could get tips on publishing someday. It's almost like you read and remembered that.
But that would be impossible given how "new" you are to the board now wouldn't it?
January 16th, 2018 at 1:40 PM ^
January 16th, 2018 at 1:33 PM ^
There it is. Hey WD!
January 16th, 2018 at 2:20 PM ^
This is a plausible scenario of a user responding to what they perceived to be troll behavior directed personally at them by fake accounts. They decide they might as well get in on the game and troll away.
There are some other scenarios that could make sense; for example, someone getting caved and deciding to take out their frustrations on the board at large.
We all have suspicions. I would like some evidence. I find it hard to believe that the proprietors don't have some tools that can help them discern where this is coming from, and honestly it surprises me that they appear to have neither said nor done anything about this.
Because whatever justification said individual may believe they have, whatever indignities they have unfairly suffered (and I have lamented the poor treatement of at least a couple of the possible individuals, even stuck up for them on here), this is ultimately the petty expression of a pitiful man whose life is too wrapped up in a message board and who lacks the intellectual strength to argue on a fair basis. It's disappointing, and a course of action that embodies the worst stereotypes we have of MSU and OSU fans.
Whoever it is, I hope they can take some time away (real time away, not fake time) and find themselves a bit more clearly.
January 16th, 2018 at 2:35 PM ^
Yeah, Old's explanation makes a LOT of a sense. It's why he can't change the tone of the posts from minstrel show cartoonery to something that at least sounds authentic. It has to offend people--he requires an angry response to force the action he wants. If he tones it down it just blends in. if the mods can't stop this I may have to reactivate my Twitter account and share his minstrel jive with that portion of the Twitterverse that follows him. Harrass us here, I harrass you there.
January 16th, 2018 at 4:35 PM ^
Harrassing WD "there" won't do anything. He'll just block you -- something which this board hasn't figured out yet.
Perhaps that is one reason why the long awaited redesign is still not public... they're making it troll proof.
January 16th, 2018 at 4:45 PM ^
If he tones it down it just blends in. if the mods can't stop this...Toning down really doesn't matter. I've seen a number of genuine posters here get banned recently for going against the grain of the MGoGroupThink. And quite frankly, you @Clarence are part of the group think police. Before you point fingers, you may wish to take a look in the mirror first.
January 16th, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
As usual you said it far more eloquently than I ever could. FWIW I know at least one Mod who has lobbied Brian & Seth strongly for the phone number verification suggestion made a while ago. Would be fairly easy to implement and would bring these "new" accounts to a screeching halt IMO.
January 16th, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
Nope... internet phone numbers would bypass that requirement.
For as smart as UM grads think they are, they know jack shit about technology!
January 16th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
Yeah, because even ignoring it is not an option. The poster responds by upping the obnoxiousness, or the racism, or whatever, until they can generate an angry reaction and trips to the Mod Sticky.
January 16th, 2018 at 4:54 PM ^
State your suspicions. That would be an interesting Diary!
who lacks the intellectual strength to argue on a fair basis.That's baloney. Whenever someone here goes against the MgoGrain, the reaction is swift by the masses. The lack of emotional intelligence on this board you claim is not what you think it is... it's rather common and widespread.
January 16th, 2018 at 9:45 PM ^
January 16th, 2018 at 4:33 PM ^
Name your names.
Personally, I think that would be a great thread!
I'm curious becuase I've been attributed to 5 DIFFERENT accounts. Everyone guessed wrong. One person was hell bent on who I was though (funny enough, that accuser got banned too!)
If you guess correctly, I promise to reveal myself!
January 16th, 2018 at 5:16 PM ^
January 16th, 2018 at 5:23 PM ^
Nope... not Borg either.
I don't know who that is by the way.

You must address him as, "fella".
